Paul,
nice videos but after looking at the specs, their 14" blade is only rated
for 1800 rpm. My old chop saw turns over 3000 rpm.
they are higher priced between 150 and 200 bucks but that doesn't mean they
aren't better blades... time will tell on my Bullet I guess
john
All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

Morse makes a similar product called the Metal Devil saw blades. There
are a ton of videos of them cutting all kinds of metal (plate, unistrut,
angle, etc) on their website.

recommendations.
Back a few months ago a member of the Ford site I frequent told me
about a
dry cut metal saw blade that could replace an abrasive blade in a chop
saw.
They can handle the chop saw speed. They are made by Bullet Industries.
The
14" model (chop saw size) is about 50 bucks. I ordered and finally got
to
install tonight.
clamped in a piece of 2x2x<" angle iron and dropped the blade down.. It
almost fell thru the metal !!! If you've used a chop saw you know about
pressure on the blade and the mess it makes. Only the lightest pressure
is
needed...just let the blade do the work. It's like a hot knife thru
soft
butter.. The output was very fine chips of metal that pretty much stay
close to where you're cutting and not floating around in the air and up
your
nose like the abrasive dust.
I can't say anything about longevity yet, but for speed of cut and ease
of
cut this is the best I've found... check them out below. If you do a
lot of
fabricating and cutting... this really seems like the way to go....
